Hilton Head SC/Savannah GA - Need Advice

[ktomlinson]

I will be in Hilton Head on business and want to arrange a dive trip on Saturday May 22nd. I don't mind driving down to Savannah if that is required. There will be 4 divers and only two of us will have our own equipment with us. Any charters I can contact? I have called all of the dive shops for Savannah that were listed on Google, but only one possibility there and I'm not sure its going to work out yet (the guy hasn't called me back yet).

Thank you for any advice you can give me!
